Dragon Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 And people wonder why this movie's disappointing... the public's reaction towards Jaden ranges from neutral to disgust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 If After Earth comes in under $20m, I can't think up a logical reason why M. Night would ever get a blockbuster project again.... Selling his soul to the devil maybe? But he may have already done that when Sixth Sense came out. Except this would not be on him. His name was nowhere to be found in the marketing. This is all on The Smith Clan. They wrote it and produced it and starred in it. His whole family had their hands in it. So MNS will get a pass on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that exactly happening, especially with the kind of critical reception it's getting. I'm getting "final nail in the coffin" vibes here.

This is a movie that should do well in matinees as its demo skews younger and more African American compared to other movies. Jack the Giant Slayer is not a good comparison, MIB3 is.

4815162342 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I feel like M. Night's career is some kind of performance art thing with a twist at the end like when he's 80 fucking years old he's gonna make a goddamn masterpiece that's the best thing ever that can also explain why all his other shit had to be as crappy as it was for this whole thing to work, and we'll all bow down to him as the greatest fucking cinematic genius on the planet. That's gotta be it. Every single one of M. Night's films takes place in the same reality. Even The Last Airbender, which is the third act of a trilogy. The Happening: Earth rejects humans and tries to kill them off After Earth: Humans return to Earth after 1,000 years to reclaim it and understand the planet in a new way The Last Airbender: Many thousands of years later humans have devolved technologically but evolved mentally and physically as part of their new connection to Earth and have gained the ability to harness natural elements of the planet as a result 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 After Earth looked awful from the beginning. Now that it's actually proven to be awful, who's gonna spend hard earned money on this when we've just had a massive influx of blockbusters? Especially with memorial weekend just gone. There are far more interesting blockbusters coming up, and people are obviosuly waiting for MOS now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shyamalan taking the blame for this would be like Gabrielle Muccino taking the blame for Playing For Keeps. People are throwing the blame to Shyamalan because he's Shyamalan. Like I said in the other thread that's probably why Smith picked him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directors ultimately get a lot of the credit or blame regardless of who writes and produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think they are overestimating 1THAE. This is a movie that should do well in matinees as its demo skews younger and more African American compared to other movies. Jack the Giant Slayer is not a good comparison, MIB3 is. They lost all credibility with me last week when they projected from weak matinees that Hangover 3 would shoot up to 20M on its first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodIsCool Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yep, audiences are sick of Will Smith??? (assuming many don't know he is not the lead actor) No, but they probably are a bit tired of the mediocre-poor movies he's been making. His last somewhat good movie was I AM LEGEND. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ent Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Will Smith is responsible for this mess. He has deliberatly put his son in first line, exposing him to the backlash at 15, giving him the lead role in a massively neglected vanity project. All this because of his obsession to make his family the next Barrymore's dynasty. Jaden is a spoiled and arrogant brat but he still a child who may not be emotionally prepared to carry part of the responsability for this failure of epic proportions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
